* "We pump from our side of the border" but they pump from a shared aquifer AND do not give Palestinians permission to pump. When I bring up these points, they say "it's all political." No, it's not. It's theft, and that means that Israeli water management is neither fair nor sustainable.Addendum: One guy said: "We ship them 50 MCM of water per year." I asked "how much does Israel take from the Sea of Galilee?" He said "250 MCM" without seeing the irony.
